Seeds, sprouted

Keim, m. germ embryo (of crystallization) nucleus, seed sprout, shoot. 

Several methods for seed sprouting have been investigated. Microbial contamination has been a problem in solid-state systems under humid conditions in which wet matrix, like sand, glass wool or peat, have been used. Also, the initiation of germination has not been fully synchronized. Continuous spraying with water reduces microbial growth.

Animal studies of alfalfa seed and seed sprouts have indicated some association between those products and the autoimmune disease lupus. The amount of alfalfa used in the studies, however, was highly excessive, with animals being fed diets containing 40% alfalfa sprouts or 45% alfalfa seed (Malinow et al. 1982 Montanaro and Bardana 1991). Related studies implicated the compound L-canavanine as being responsible for the effects of alfalfa. Although the compound is present in alfalfa seed and sprouts, it is not present in the mature herb that is the subject of this entry (Brown 2000 Farnsworth 1995 Malinow et al. 1982 Whittam et al. 1995).

The starchy part of the seed which surrounds the embryo or germ. When a seed sprouts, enzymes that develop in the seed break the starch down to sugar which may be used by the embryonic plant. It is noteworthy that man has domesticated plants with seeds that have large, starchy endosperms.
